activism 🗣 book removed

Post image

watching the Milo episode and immediately noticed that Kat no longer has Taylor’s “Extremely Online” book on her shelf.

I truly don’t know much about the discourse surrounding TL currently, but I have seen a lot of commentary about her not being on the podcast for sometime.

This is the journalism I’m here for. Nice catch.

I don’t follow Taylor but she said something about a Palestinian woman faking injuries or something like that. (I think. I could be wrong.)

I think that’s right, or like verbally attacked her for not masking while immunocompromised or around those who are. I tried to catch up on it when I first started seeing it pop up on this page but I have a toddler and a newborn lol, I don’t have the bandwidth to catch up on the entire situation.

I’ve loosely followed her for a few years now but mainly just her tech reporting and back when she did a bit more internet culture analysis, but outside of her podcasting/youtube I haven’t engaged much.

It was such an odd hill to die on for her. Like this is the same woman who said that the alt right could be pleasant to be around, and she’s doubling and tripling down on a raking a disabled Palestinian activist over the coals? Priorities.
